A professional home inspection is good idea with any home purchase, even if it's a new construction. I had Alan come inspect my house as we are getting close to the 1 year mark for the Tarion Warranty. With the change in seasons, snow, ice and rain, we started to have a leak with the roof. When I asked the builder to inspect, they suggested that it was "ice damming" and they are not responsible for it and the damages caused by it. My living room wall and hardwood floor was damaged from the water coming into the house. The water would leak right down into the basement. Alan was quite thorough in inspecting the house and even climbed onto a very awkward part of the roof. Good thing as he discovered a portion of the exterior wall wasn't even finished, hence the water leak. Hopefully this is a good example that even with a new construction and all the modern building codes, a professional home inspection such as AllMax should be part of every home purchase. Thanks Alan.
